Lesson 07 : Walls

Metal lath Partitions

Metal lath partition walls are constructed by placing 2cm or 2.5cm channels vertically (called studs) and fixing metal lath to it on one side. Plaster is then applied to both the sides. If hallow partition wall is required, metal lath is fixed to the channels on both the sides and then plastering them. Metal lath partitions are thin, strong, durable and considerably fire resistant.
